What We Do
Send Me a Pro Ventures builds, incubates, and grows brands that align with the strategic mission of Send Me a Pro to simplify home services.
We work with portfolio companies that have a potential to scale through franchising and where Send Me a Pro can provide a strategic competitive advantage leveraging our proprietary technology and deep experience in franchising and the home services industry.
We selectively partner with small and emerging businesses in the home services industry and scale and grow them through franchising.
Before starting to franchise, we will first put your business through our Incubator Program that will help improve the overall business model.
This includes having clarity on the business strategy and product/service offerings to ensure you are operating in a market that has a promising outlook. It is important to have a clearly defined competitive advantage and unique selling point. It’s critical that the compass is pointing in the right direction and we will help you find that sweet spot.
We also identify any operational challenges and develop strategies and solutions to streamline operations and drive efficiencies. We will help you polish your business so you have a well oiled machine.
This business makeover will develop a strong foundation for your business that will result in your current unit becoming more successful and profitable which will accelerate growth through franchising.
Once the foundation is in place, you are now ready to package your business model and scale through franchising.

Getting Franchise Ready
What does it mean to be franchise ready?
The franchise business is a SEPARATE business from your current business model. Your current business is offering a product or service such as a home service directly to a consumer. The franchise business grants the rights of your successful business concept to other business owners who will offer those products/services to the end consumer.
The franchise business is about EDUCATING and TEACHING OTHERS how to operate the business. It requires its own business plan and resources to be successful.
There are four main pillars to be franchise ready:
Identifying the franchise model including initial franchise fee, royalty, territory size and other key commercial terms
Preparation of the Franchise Disclosure Document, Financial Audits, Franchise Agreement and various state registrations
Assembly of adequate documentation and training manuals to be able to teach
Developing a marketing plan to market your franchise to obtain new franchises who are interested in joining and having compelling marketing collateral and a streamlined sales process to award new franchisees
We will help you prioritize what are the appropriate steps in each of the above pillars according to the phase that you are in and with the available resources.
